SYRACUSE -- Most of the time, our Pictures of the Week highlight special occasions -- celebrity visits, major station events or milestones, and so forth. But this week, something different: how an unintended coincidence can turn a seemingly-ordinary day at the station into a humorous moment.
SYRACUSE -- Even though her old affiliate, Lite Rock 105.9 (WLTI) is now an all-talk station, Delilah's still on the air in Syracuse. Listeners who like to "slow down and love someone" with the popular syndicated hostess just need to slide their radios down to Y94FM (WYYY).
SYRACUSE -- A number of changes first announced in December finally took place today. ESPN Radio has changed its Syracuse affiliation over from Citadel's WSKO (formerly WNSS) 1260 over to a four-station simulcast including two AMs and two FM translators owned by Galaxy.
SYRACUSE -- Matt "Big Smoothie" Jacobs is back on the roster at Citadel rocker 95X (WAQX). You may remember him as the host of "The People's Show" weekday evenings in the mid 2000s. Jacobs recently rejoined the lineup for weekend duty: he's on Saturdays 10a-3p and Sundays 7a-1p.

CINCINNATI -- Regent Communications, the parent company of four radio stations in the Utica-Rome market, has filed for a "prearranged" Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to eliminate $87 million in debt.
SYRACUSE -- Longtime market fixture Tony Bombardo will be performing his very last traffic reports on radio and TV tomorrow (Friday) morning. Bombardo's decision to quit his reports comes after he and ABC affiliate NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV) failed to agree on a new contract for Bombardo's services.
SYRACUSE -- The website for 105.9FM The Big Talker (WLTI) is still under construction, and the website for The Score 1260 (WSKO) still reflects the current ESPN Radio lineup. But promotional documents obtained by CNYRadio.com through an anonymous source reveal the specific timeslots for the new lineups on both stations. (Updated 3/2 with 105.9 […]
